which scope rings ?
Are the weaver or Leupold aluminum rings any good ? The weaver have 4 screws holding a double cap and the Leupold only has two screws with one piece cap, does it matter ?

What are you putting them on? For heavy recoiling rifles I'd use steel. For light or medium recoiling rifles take your pick.

I've been using Talley Lightweights on everything for many years now. They are actually stronger than most steel mounts since the lower ring and base are made together. One less thing to go wrong. They are lightweight, reasonably priced, and easy to mount compared to many others. Lots of folks use them on big guns with no problems.
The only issues are when a muscle bound wrench turner over tightens them. I've seen a few guys manage to break the ring doing that. But I've never known of any issues if they are mounted right. If you're talking about the Weaver 4X4 rings commonly sold at Walmart, they are very functional for the money. I'd trust them on anything. They are a little more complex and harder to mount than the Talley's. And they don't look as good, but they do work.

I used to use the Weaver and Leupold rings. Not anymore.
To save weight on hunting rifles i use Vortex Viper rings. For range rifles where weight isn't an issue i use Warne.

Warne, Talley, there are many other good rings....I like TPS. I also have been known to use a lapped Ruger ring...it is literally the lowest I will use. |

Warne and Burris Zee are what I usually use. I use Talley on my ultra light rifles.

Warne, Leupold, Burris (usually QDs) are the only bases/mounts/rings you'll find on my cf rifles.
Proven quality and dependability over the years. Some Ruger and Weaver bases/mounts/rings on the .22LRs. |

I like Warne steel rings. Hunted with streel rings as well. I have to laugh, a Ruger M77 weight maybe 8-9 lbs with scope, rings and loaded. This light rifle stuff......... hmmm
I will use Leopold if Warned does not make them (Sako) I know aluminum is solid in the type they use, I just like the feel of steel a lot better.

It's great! People spending a lot of money on scope rings telling people that didn't that their rings are a POS! Love it. how do you tell people who's rings are still working ten and fifteen years down the road, their rings suck? I'm sorry, dumb question. Pure luck! :-)
